Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Odd Injury

Hey Janice,

You might be right, but I would still advise checking your male. Alpaca males usually have 3 pairs of fighting teeth on the top and bottom when they reach maturity. These usually come, one set at a time beginning with the front set. It isn't just one pair of canines on each side, it is 3 pairs, and they aren't just on the bottom, like the incisors, they are top and bottom.

If you haven't checked your intact male, you need to do so, regardless of what the cause of this injury was. Actually, I hope it wasn't a bobcat and if you suspect that it is do you need to worry about rabies prophylaxis?
